Re: Gen 1 GTS PDK service

I would get it done now, it's oil and loses its properties over time/use. For the cost of a change vs the cost of a potential failure, silly not to. Should be glad Porsche have a service schedule for it, some manufacturers insist a transmission is sealed for life like they do with diffs and transfe...

I fitted these a few months ago and they're fine, early to say how long they'll last but the P zeros did about 23 k miles.

Except mine is long out of warranty (I'm the 2nd owner, only had it 18months). Have a terrible feeling this will cost me a fortune! ...

Re: Cost of replacement discs and pads

Just had pads and sensors done for £472; discs were well above wear limit.

Pad warning had flashed but still about 3mm to go so not urgent.

Re: 600 bhp Macan!?

Too much power. Price will be ridiculous. The carrot of `look at how much power & 0-60 times EV's get` will start to fade with the public, who cannot afford these types of cars. A Kia EV6 GT (or whatever it's called) is £60,000. For a Kia ! The cars once priced for those who couldn't even affor...

Re: Driver Card battery/need

If it's the fob you should check with insurance first as it might be a condition or give you a discount if actuated.

I often get calls from Vodaphone so it appears to work well.

Re: 6 years in and Service price shock

On my 4 year service i had the PDK, plugs, Transfer box and brake fluid done for £938-60 incl VAT. I've always done gearbox changes at about half the book interval. When and where was that Tim? ADH Porsche, just North of Coggeshall, seems ok, should have said i took my own engine oil. Bit of a pain...

Re: 6 years in and Service price shock

PDK and plugs 'should' be 4 year items but if mileage warrants, can be deferred to 6 year. I think mine will need the basic oil change, and a bit later the 4year, between the service book and the car info it’s a bit confusing but I’ve got a service plan, think I just have to pay for the basic oil c...
